Importing a TrueType Font from the Internet

You received a bitmap artwork file for digitizing an embroidery design with lettering in it. You were told that you must use a specific font for the lettering, but the font is not available in the Wilcom Alphabet list.

Solution:

You can search for the font on the Internet and find the TrueType file. Add it to the Wilcom Alphabet list with the following procedure:

1) Download the TrueType Font file. 2) Open the file location in Windows Explorer. 3) Select the file and Right click to “Copy” the file. 4) Go to Windows Control Panel > Fonts folder. 5) Right click somewhere in between the font files in the Fonts folder (avoid right clicking on any file) and “Paste” the New Font

Note: at this point, you have imported a TrueType Font in Windows. In order to view the New Font, you must restart Wilcom Software.
